Beer: Reviews & Ratings

appearance: The clouded limey green color really a pleasure to look at depending on your perspective. Keep s a good lacy head.

smell: Weak malty smell. Fruity hints on the edges. You really have to get your nose in there to smell it

taste: Malty subtle flavor. Not pronounce and kind of disappointing.

mouthfeel: weak but somehow filling. Makes you want more it is almost explainable

overall: Why is this brew so good. For some reason this is a great beer and I love it but it doesn't taste like much and it really isn't very filling. Its just a generally good beer. And the wife loves it. (651 characters)

T - Like the aroma, the taste is very light. pale malts, slight hints of fruity esters, bit of lemon, bready/biscuit notes, and a light floral hoppy bitter finish

M - thin, crisp, very light carbonation

O - Although very light and mainly dominated by yeasty and citrusy flavours (something I'm not normally a huge fan of), something about this beer was really enjoyable. It has such a crisp, summery feel to it that it feels like you can drink it anytime. My .5L Bügelflasche was purchased at a CenterParcs in Germany, and for a bit under 2 euros, I'd say it's quite a steal. (718 characters)

I was disappointed in this beer. Today I went to the speciality beer shop in Berlin, and i decided to buy 8 or so beers with the only criteria that each cost more than e2.00/ltr (or e1.00 for a standard 1/2l bottle). This approach probably weeds out 80-90% of the multitude of offerings. So tonight I've had a cracking couple of beers. But I hate to say it, this one is doing very little for me indeed, despite it's price. (422 characters)

Pours a lightly hazy gold, very effervescent. The eggshell head has nice fluff to it, though retention could be better. Some lacing.

The aroma is raw and yeasty.

The flavor is actually a lot cleaner than I was expecting from the aroma. Some hay, grains, earthy yeast, and a bit of fresh, grassy hops on the finish. Light, but pretty bitter. The mouthfeel is prickly and refreshing.

Probably not something I'd buy again, but not bad at all and totally drinkable. (506 characters)

.33L bottle obtained from a outdoor stand in Saarbrücken, Germany, on June 29, 2008.

Nature-fresh and unfiltered, or so goes the slogan for this cellar-beer. It's an unfiltered beer with a hazy-golden appearance. Doesn't look too bad -- nothing like the other near-transparent beers I saw going around.

The first aroma you get of this is yeast, and you would expect that from an unfiltered beer. Smells something like a field aside, which is pleasant but not earth-shattering.

Now, here's the big surprise: it drinks like a light beer. Unduly carbonated and subtle, it's not the most impressive at first drink. But strangely, it seems to grow on you. I had a mate test it out for me twice, once early and once later. He didn't seem to notice a difference, but I was getting the impression as I went along that the flavour was evolving. Rather, it seems that the particulates leave a bit of leftovers for you as you drink. Still, it's never too heavy on flavour. Unusually weak for an unfiltered beer; almost more like a pilz.

The softness of the flavour and feel make it reasonably drinkable, but not incredibly so. It's not something for all occasions, either. For watching a EuroCup final, it's not unsuitable but not ideal. Slightly above average, overall. (1,264 characters)

This half litre flip-topped bottle was obtained during a beer collecting trip in Germany (June 2007). Drank 7 days before its due date.

Poured into a Hoegaarden Grand Cru glass (twice).

Slightly hazy look, which gives the beer a dull golden hue to it. The second pour was obviously a little more hazy. The clean white head falls away very swiftly, it started three inches high and before I had lifted the glass it fell to less than half an inch.

Aroma is good for a kellerbier, slight sourness, which flows into the taste and some wheat, even though it has none in it.

A little dry and weak tasting, but still some flavour of yeast and hops combine to give the beer a different taste to this breweries normal pilsner beer.

The dry sourness does stay in the mouth, but the overall feel is only average, the brewer hasn't pushed any boats out. This is a run of the mill kellerbier, I was hoping for more from an old Pilsner brewery I used to support when living in Germany. (976 characters)

Best before 30-04-05. Pours in fine and gives a nice head that stays quiet well. Golden color with a fine opalizing cloud. Nose is fine too, sweet malty, fresh and delicate yeastfruit. Taste is litle empty though; lightly malted, watery and dry. That with a poor hopping giving just a light aftertaste and mouthfeel. Only that mouthfeel is a litle tinkled by the carbon dioxide. Drinkability is ok but am a litle dissapointed in this one being a German Urtyp Unfiltriert! Nothing wrong with it though. (501 characters)

This beer has weizen like looks. Pours a cloudy light yellow. A thick white head meets the top of the glass but rapidly fades away. Aroma of yeast is present. Not a weizen yeast but a musty smell. Taste is more pilsner like with a yeast backing. Thin body and a watery feel kilss this beer. Overall an O.K brew to try. (318 characters)
